First time I watched The Wire I watched it with subtitles on which helped my understanding greatly - had exactly the same trouble as you did.
Along with Twin Peaks it went on to be the best TV I've ever seen, can't rate it highly enough.

Re: 596: Norco
Sadly the ending didn't come together in the way I wanted it to - characters I'd loved in the first two thirds of the game were absent, plotlines were left unresolved (or rushed to conclusion) and the long fight sequence at the end left a real sour taste. A real shame as I enjoyed the game immensely...

Re: Sea of Stars
Playing this at the moment and really enjoying it - it's just simple, JRPG-style nostalgia comfort food and exactly what I need at the moment.
I'm not that far into it though - only just finished the first boss on Wraith Island, about 10 hours in.
Oh, and it looks absolutely beautiful.

Who would've thought a guy getting the runs from a hot dog would be a great and hilarious way of showing you the unintended consequences of your actions?

Re: Games Completed 2023
Waiting on the Xbox version so myself and two friends can do the whole thing in co-op like we did Original Sin 2!
I'm going for a more buffet approach at the moment - Sea of Stars, Norco, Spiritfarer, Quake 2 and Street Fighter 6 all had some play over the weekend, one should really grab me soon.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
185+ hours and I could happily keep playing it - haven't had this much fun since Breath of the Wild.
What the fuck am I supposed to play now?
10/10

I've been learning Unity for the last few months via Udemy so this a little disconcerting!
Hopefully there's a climbdown soon.

Another one here who thought it got better at the halfway point.
Adored the game, particularly the music.

Re: Starfield
I'm looking forward to playing this even though I've never fully gelled with a Bethesda RPG before - here's hoping this is the one that hooks me in.

Silver lining is there's a fair bit of content to catch up on!

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Tears of the Kingdom, still.
Thought I would've tired of it by now but 90~ Shrines, 50~ Lightroots, two thirds of the map uncovered and 90+ hours later I still can't play anything else bar the odd bit of Street Fighter 6. Utterly absorbing.

Re: Patreon Woes
I just had a text from my bank to flag up this month's Patreon payment as "attempted fraud". They seem to ignore the fact I've been paying it every month for years, and I think they blocked it. I'll check when I get chance and make sure subscription is still active, but anyone else had th...

Street Fighter 6
I'm really enjoying this at the moment (switching between Ryu and DeeJay) and it'd be ace to get some of the forumites and even the C&R crew on if they have the game. @Michiel K has created a club - CrustyFighting - and myself and possibly @raisinbman have joined. My fighter ID is 2122815641 if ...

No worries - it's hard to remember as I played it a few years ago! That act is definitely the biggest act of the game - it's absolutely massive.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I was absolutely loving Divinity Original Sin 2 when I played about 50 hours of it a few months ago. I've come back to it this week except I can't remember anything about what I'm supposed to be doing or where I'm supposed to be going! The quest log doesn't help as there's no indication which is th...

Another Direct at 3pm this afternoon - big focus on Pikmin 4 (woohoo) but anyone else want to offer any predictions/hopes? It's a long shot but I'm going for some Mario news. It's been a long time since Odyssey and with the film doing well I'm hoping to hear something. No point anticipating anything...

Re: The Street Fighter thread
Sod it, I'm buying it - played a bit more of the demo last night and it's just too much fun. Anyone else bar Michiel playing this? Be nice to set up a Cane and Rinse group if there's a few of us. I made a Club thingie. If you share your Fighter ID, I'd be happy to add you! @raisinbman that goes for...

Re: The Street Fighter thread
Dipped my toe into online last night and got absolutely smashed 17-0 by someone who actually knows how to use Ryu. Still think I learned a couple of things though so it's not all bad! I'll post my Fighter ID later and hopefully a few of us in the community can have some games. Keep at it, not to pu...
